Severe thunderstorm downburst winds caused substantial damage in Perkins Township, just south of the City of Sandusky, during the late evening hours of the 22nd.  The damage was concentrated in an area just west of the Sandusky Mall.  The thunderstorm winds were estimated to be around 70 mph.  Forty to fifty homes in Perkins Township were damaged.  A few homes had moderate damage but most of the damage was minor.  A house nearly one hundred and fifty years old had its chimney knocked down from the severe winds.  Another house had a roof collapse into the living room.  A garage at another location collapsed after the roof was completely torn off.  Other houses primarily had damage to their roofs.  A church had two sections of it's roof torn off, and four windows blown out of it.  Fifteen to twenty trees were completely uprooted in the area, and hundreds of other trees were knocked down or sustained major damage from large limbs broken off of them.  Along with trees, many areas had power lines that were downed.
